Are
you enjoying Soul Calibur VI beta on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One? We
certainly are (when it finds an opponent). Soul Calibur VI makes
things very accommodating for beginners by design, but becomes a much more
enjoyable and deeper game when you know what you're doing. That said, stop
reading this and start studying these character movesets from PrimaGames.com
for all 16 playable characters in the beta version! Also take a glance at
the official Soul Calibur VI beta controls
guide, which outlines the basics of combat.
*NOTE:
The movelists below are obviously incomplete. Some characters have links to
"Move List" documents / work-in-progress guides compiled by different
players. These contain additional moves, combos, early impressions of
playstyles, and other helpful tips.
*NOTE
#2: If you're having trouble connecting and finding
opponents in the beta, try
returning to the main menu after every match and changing connection
settings to all regions.
